Chapter 40 Night Talk

But how could he guarantee that he could mutate successfully after eating the corpse? This is also the reason why I didn't say anything about my worries before, because he couldn't guarantee.&t;p>

Gu Yu signaled me to sit on the sand. It seemed that he wanted to have a long talk with me. I didn't need to sleep. I wonder if his resurrected ancient corpse was like ordinary people. Thinking of this, I became more curious about him.&t;p>

Gu Yu moved a chair and sat opposite me. His long straight legs stretched to the coffee table, while I sat upright, like a good student who was about to ask questions, hoping that he could answer all my questions.&t;p>

"I'll tell you about the situation in the secret room." His opening remark immediately attracted my full attention.&t;p>

"This hotel was built in the early 2000s, and the existing building was rebuilt on the original foundation. The hotel owner retained an underground building, and the secret room under the wine cellar and the pavilion were all part of the old house."&t;p>

I like to hear some mysterious old stories the most. When he mentioned the old house, he stared at the next chapter with wide eyes. I personally found the wine cellar, so there was no mystery. But he was the only one who visited the secret room under the pavilion. What exactly is there? Why didn't he let anyone see it?&t;p>

Gu Yu quickly continued to say: "The secret room has been closed for a long time. It seems that it has been dug up recently. There is a coffin inside. The person who dug through the secret room should be the female corpse that has been transformed from the wine cellar."&t;p>

I nodded silently and agreed with his statement. The corpse-turned female corpse could not have run out of the entrance where we went down. She dug a passage inside the wine cellar, and it was likely that she had accidentally dug through the secret room.&t;p>

"But I saw nearly a hundred corpses inside, all of which were bones and no flesh and blood. Judging from their clothes, these people died not long ago. They were probably guests of the hotel. After the disaster broke out, they did not leave the hotel, but for some reason, they turned into bones in the secret room."&t;p>

I interjected: "What do you think?"&t;p>

Gu Yu muttered and said, "It's that coffin."&t;p>

I said in surprise: "That coffin ate them?"&t;p>

Gu Yu shook his head: "From my experience, it was the things in the coffin that sucked the essence of those people, but maybe it was not enough that the thing could not come out, so I ruined it."&t;p>

I said, "You also fought with the mutant scientist. He must have fought to protect the things in the coffin, right?"&t;p>

Gu Yu looked at me with appreciation, then nodded: "The female corpse we dealt with is the same kind of walking corpse as him, but he has mutated for a short time and has not formed a climate. There may be other mystery in this place, and the corpse-turned people are not infected with a new type of virus."&t;p>

I thought about it and said, "Why were the few people killed later in the hotel? Why were they emptying their internal organs? They were caught in the secret room and sucked dry?"&t;p>

"Do you remember other corpses in the wine cellar? My people have checked them and they have no internal organs except the one that transformed, so I guess the hotel owner was the first to cultivate the female corpse."&t;p>

"He caught a living person and fed the female corpse, and then kept it. Just as the end of the world exploded, he either died or ran away. The female corpse had no food, so he dug a passage and ran out to find food, but dug through the secret room..." I said, thinking along the way, "She must have had a communication with the things in the coffin, so she fed the survivor trapped in the hotel and was hungry. She waited until Team Fu and the others came to get food for herself."&t;p>

Gu Yu followed my words: "The things in the coffin need more living people and more helpers, so she captured the scientist and cultivated him."&t;p>

Having said that, our guess should be closer to the truth, because when I saw the scientist's corpse, his body was well preserved and not broken, so the female corpse caught him not for eating.&t;p>

His later changes also illustrate this point. Fortunately, he and the female corpse are not on the same level. If two ghost corpses cooperate, Gu Yu's soldiers would probably not be left.&t;p>

The disaster exploded, as if it were another form of time suspension. If Fu Yan had not brought people back to this hotel, its underground secret would never have been revealed, at least it would not have been revealed in a short period of time.&t;p>

Although the hotel owner had a special hobby, he did not expect that there was a secret room under the pavilion. It was probably when he was rebuilt. He saw that the pavilion was well preserved and the antique flavor, so he left no movement. The coffin below and the things in the coffin were also preserved.&t;p>

However, there are nearly a hundred living corpses that can absorb people's essence. This thing must not be kept. Don't show a monster like the one mentioned in a crosstalk of Gang, and give yourself a name called the Hundred Bone Corpse Demon.&t;p>

"I'm even more worried now. Dr. Wen ate the flesh of the Hundred Bone Corpse Demon, and he will become a monster if he doesn't die!"&t;p>

"Hundred Bone Corpse Demon?"&t;p>

"Well, it's a synonym."&t;p>

"So vivid."&t;p>

"Then I will go with you tomorrow. If I encounter danger, I will at least take you away."&t;p>

"You don't need to participate in Dr. Wen's affairs. I have other tasks for you."&t;p>

"Oh, there is a task, hehe, I am also a member of the organization now?"&t;p>

"People outside the border, tomorrow you will take Long Tao and Hu Tao to Minghe County. There has been occupied by ordinary zombies. Please help me get something out."&t;p>

"No problem, what?"&t;p>

"The test report of water source, the first occupied area in the north is Minghe City, where there was a sudden tide of mutant corpses in the middle of the night. The above suspected that the virus was caused by water pollution, and the team sent to take samples failed to come out. It is estimated that all the staff have died. The test data they recorded in the local laboratory are first-hand information, and we must get it."&t;p>

"Minghe...no survivors?"&t;p>

"No, the residents of the entire city all mutated overnight."&t;p>

I don't really believe what Gu Yu said. Minghe City is quite famous in the north. It turned out to be a county town. It is famous for its abundant high-quality rice. The rice produced there is sold to all parts of the country and even exported to foreign countries. The total population of the city is nearly one million. Except for rural areas, there are hundreds of thousands of people in the city alone, and all of them mutated into zombies overnight. What is this concept?&t;p>

Anyway, this is not the case in the towns I passed along. You can see more or less signs of someone escaping from the city, and there are also cars thrown in the middle of the road, which has no blood in it. At least it means that many people escaped from the city after the disaster.&t;p>

What is the truth? I need to confirm it myself tomorrow. Gu Yu gave me a map of Minghe City and a hand-drawn area map, which clearly marked the water quality monitoring station I was looking for.&t;p>

He asked me to review the route and confirmed that I remembered it, and then said: "Safety is the first priority. If you encounter special circumstances, please withdraw it first."&t;p>

I suddenly wanted to tease him and asked, "If I sacrifice my parents, can I get a pension? At least I will give you a martyr medal~"&t;p>

Gu Yu's face darkened: "If you are not sure, stay in the hotel honestly."&t;p>

My work ability was questioned, and I couldn't bear it. I immediately objected: "That's not possible. I have been crossing mountains and rivers for so long, and I have been here alone. Don't think that I am a weak person!"&t;p>

I took the initiative to come up with a task, one because of Dr. Wen, and the other because I wanted to find a value for myself. The new detector could not be made. As a zombie who integrated into the human team, I have to work hard for everyone.&t;p>

Hearing my bold words, Gu Yu's serious face warmed up a little, and he reminded him: "Be careful."&t;p>

It was already nine o'clock in the evening after we talked. Seeing that he had no intention of driving me away, I took this opportunity to talk to him more, such as the situation in the safety zone and the future of Nini. Finally, I talked about his own problems. I held it in all night and finally asked whether he needed to eat or not and whether he needed to sleep.&t;p>

Gu Yu's answer disappointed me a little. He can sleep. Although it is only two days a night, it still seems much normal compared to my eyes that I don't close my eyes this hour.&t;p>

Humans are group creatures, and being excluded from the ethnic group will make people feel fear. If you find yourself different from others, you will unconsciously want to find "same kind".&t;p>

"I don't need to eat." Gu Yu's words of comfort made me feel refreshed. Perhaps it was my illusion. When I looked up happily, a smile seemed to pass by his lips. If there was something and nothing, I was not sure.&t;p>

"My body is like an independent machine, absorbing, power, cycling, and forming its own one." He paused. I felt that he hadn't said anything, but he didn't continue to talk about this topic until now.&t;p>

He was willing to share so much with me, so he didn't treat me as an outsider. I stopped when I saw it was getting late. Seeing that it was getting late, he said goodbye and prepared to go back to his room to rest. He rushed to perform the task early tomorrow.&t;p>

As soon as I said I was leaving, Gu Yu interrupted me: "Ni Ni is fine, you are resting here."&t;p>

I was stunned and looked at the decorations in the luxurious suite. It was indeed better than the room on the first floor, but the room where the man and the woman lived together was so bad that it was reported...&t;p>

"Stop someone coming to disturb me in the middle of the night, you can keep the door." The fantasy bubble was pierced by the coldness of reality. After saying that, Gu Yu went back to the inner room to rest, and threw me alone in the living room, and could only hold the soft cushion and slump on the sand.&t;p>

I was idle and memorized the roadmap and remembered it all, so I jumped up and wandered around the house. I had never stayed in a high-end hotel, and I had only seen the luxurious suites on TV. I thought I would go on a mission tomorrow, but I didn’t know how many days I would be trapped in the dead city where zombies were everywhere, so I decided to enjoy it and take a bath back to the bubble bath.&t;p>

"Gu Yu, I'll use the bathroom." I knocked on the door of the inner room symbolically, which was also notified to the owner. I walked into the bathroom and the bathtub was dry. So Gu Yu took the shower, and I washed my clothes while I was draining water. Since I became a zombie, my resistance has been stronger every day. Not to mention a cold bath, I don't even think of catching a cold even if I take a cold bath.&t;p>

There were rows of bottles and jars on the bathroom shelf, and a pot of dried rose petals. I opened the bottles one by one and smelled them. I poured some of the stuff that could be poured into the bathtub and spread the petals. It is an emperor-level enjoyment to be able to wash petal baths these days.&t;p>

I hummed a little song and soaked in the fragrant water. I didn't hear a knock on the door at all. Until Tuya rushed into the bathroom angrily, Gu Yu didn't stop me. I was prying my calves to wash my feet!&t;p>
